Scarlet's Witch (2014) EDIT “What’s very interesting about Rabbath’s tale is that no matter how fantastic the magic within, everything that transpires is believable. ” – Film Threat Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Altered Minds (2013) 56% EDIT “In the end, this is a solid psychological thriller that keeps you guessing, with more than a few tricks up its sleeves to make for some arresting emotional or physical responses.” – Film Threat Apr 23, 2024 Full Review How to Lose Jobs & Alienate Girlfriends (2014) EDIT “The film that revealed itself may be nothing near what Meadmore originally intended, but it has value nonetheless.” – Film Threat Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Cam-Girl (2016) EDIT “While Cam-Girl isn't a great film, and a more than slightly derivative thriller that tips its hand early-on, it does have its positives. Again, Erin Nicole Cline's performance as Gessica is strong enough.” – Film Threat May 22, 2017 Full Review Fractional (2011) EDIT “Fractional is a solid psychological thriller that isn't afraid to get its hands a little bloody.” – Film Threat Apr 25, 2017 Full Review Rage (2010) EDIT “This is a smart thriller, and while we've seen many of these elements before, it's done so well that it's refreshing to see something so accomplished attempt such a classic style.” – Film Threat Apr 21, 2017 Full Review Rebound (2013) 3/5 EDIT “It's solid enough to merit a watch, but it is at its best when, like Jaws, we don't see the danger explicitly, we just know that it's out there.” – Film Threat May 14, 2015 Full Review She's Lost Control (2014) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Overall, I enjoyed the film, even if, at times, it felt like watching an accident in extremely slow motion.” – Film Threat Mar 18, 2015 Full Review The Royal Road (2015) 82% 3/5 EDIT “It is a risky film if your attention span is not forgiving, and some people will love it while others will be terribly put off by it.” – Film Threat Feb 11, 2015 Full Review Odd Brodsky (2013) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Odd Brodsky is a fun story that acquits itself with absurdity and charm.” – Film Threat Oct 14, 2014 Full Review Bridge and Tunnel (2014) 3.5/5 EDIT “The artifice of the setup sometimes clashes with the realism of the portrayal, but if you give it time, the film may grow on you as it did me...” – Film Threat Sep 26, 2014 Full Review Fight Church (2014) 100% 4/5 EDIT “A surprisingly nuanced and intriguing study of two worlds that would seem to be entirely incompatible.” – Film Threat Sep 15, 2014 Full Review Tusk (2014) 45% 4.5/5 EDIT “Michael Parks continues to prove his exceptional talent, versatility and willingness to go all out for whatever role he takes on...” – Film Threat Sep 8, 2014 Full Review Night Has Settled (2014) 3/5 EDIT “Sure, there's nothing new to the rebellion and acting out that comes with puberty and growing older, but by framing it within the scope of this particular familial structure, it allows the film to be more than just your typical coming-of-age drama.” – Film Threat Sep 2, 2014 Full Review Alt (2013) 3/5 EDIT “It's a film with an intriguing idea at its core, if not one that seems to offer much concrete context...” – Film Threat Aug 8, 2014 Full Review Maybe Tomorrow (2012) 4/5 EDIT “A strong story and good-looking visuals are only enhanced by the performances contained within..” – Film Threat Aug 8, 2014 Full Review Llyn Foulkes One Man Band (2013) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “Llyn Foulkes One Man Band is a quality look into the life and art of a tremendous artistic mind.” – Film Threat May 7, 2014 Full Review Amka and the Three Golden Rules (2013) 3.5/5 EDIT “Overall, Amka and the Three Golden Rules is a pleasant tale, layered with life lessons obvious and then less so.” – Film Threat Apr 16, 2014 Full Review Detonator (2013) 80% 4.5/5 EDIT “The film is intriguing in its character study and journey, buoyed by the performances of its leads.” – Film Threat Apr 11, 2014 Full Review Cement Suitcase (2013) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Voiceover and other techniques continually break the fourth wall, while other stylistic flourishes create an almost whimsical aesthetic...” – Film Threat Apr 8, 2014 Full Review Buzzard (2014) 89% 3.5/5 EDIT “Buzzard looks great and moments of music are perfectly utilized. It's also paced well, succeeding in the balancing act of keeping the narrative moving forward even when it seems like Marty's life isn't going anywhere.” – Film Threat Mar 17, 2014 Full Review Hank and Asha (2013) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “It has the feel of a crowd-pleaser, and it wears its heart on its sleeve. With a character like Asha, how could it not?” – Film Threat Feb 27, 2014 Full Review Dead Dad (2012) 3.5/5 EDIT “Universal situations and considerations abound, however, so it'd be hard for anyone who has gone through the death of a loved one not to relate in some capacity...” – Film Threat Feb 24, 2014 Full Review Lucky Bastard (2013) 52% 3/5 EDIT “The found footage offers a rawness to the film, and the actors do a great job of melting into that false reality.” – Film Threat Feb 21, 2014 Full Review Blood Rush (2012) EDIT “In its lesser moments, Blood Rush feels unfocused. Obviously this can be aimed at the number of characters it pays attention to, and the fact that, save for a few here or there, most of the side-stories aren't the most compelling.” – Film Threat Feb 6, 2014 Full Review
